Campaign for a Walking and Cycling Greenway on the Closed Railway from Sligo to Athenry: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Quinn:

That is fair enough. The original report that looked at the western rail corridor did not look at the area north of Claremorris. The new strategy document, the all-island rail review, has not looked north of Claremorris. If we could at least get someone to say we could have a greenway, like Sligo County Council is aiming for, because it is getting - if I gave the wrong impression, I apologise - deeply frustrating north of Claremorris. If a Velorail is allowed on the route, why is a greenway not allowed on the route? They are both being used for leisure purposes. Can the Deputy explain that?
